"So the teaching of communication
will
always be with us–in some honored or fugitive place–just as it has been
with us for twenty centuries or more. It will be with us for the
most fundamental of reasons: Freedom goes to the articulate.
After
all, with effective communication I decide who will pay me or love me
or
vote for me. With effective communication I decide if my people
will
continue to suffer social discrimination or joblessness or mental
distress.
With effective communication I decide who will share my truths, honor
my
gods, appreciate my history."
